    A heartless SUV driver mowed down a 74-year-old pedestrian and sent him flying through the air in a deadly Brooklyn hit-and-run crash Wednesday night, according to video and police.

    Troubling surveillance footage shows the moment a white SUV slams into Segundo Reina-Gaon — brutally catapulting the pedestrian from the crosswalk into a parked car and then the pavement at Ridge Boulevard and Bay Ridge Avenue around 9 p.m. in Bay Ridge.
